Description

Accrington Stanley is a football club from Accrington in Lancashire, in the north-west of England, formed in 1968. The town regained a club with league status after 44 years, when they were promoted as champions of the Nationwide Conference on 15 April 2006 [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/4890816.stm]. One of the clubs relegated from League Two was Oxford United, the team that was elected to replace the former Accrington Stanley as members of the Football League in 1962. They should not be confused with the earlier club of the same name, nor with Accrington F.C., who were one of the original twelve founder members of the Football League. There is no connection between the three clubs.
